__init__(name: str, observed: bool = True)

A normal distribution sampler, where property ~ N(mu, sigma).

Parameters

• name (str) – Name of the property

• observed (bool) – True if the property is observed, False if it is latent. Defaults to True

• mu (AuxiliaryParameter) – Mean of the normal

• tau (AuxiliaryParameter) – Standard deviation of the normal

• sigma (AuxiliaryParameter) – Standard deviation of normal distribution from which observed values are sampled, if observed is True
